There’s an ever-expanding, some might call unstoppable, groundswell with porn games. Yes, games of all sorts which have an adult sex themed twist. Some of these games are full on hardcore porn, others simply offer a taste of the porn fun.

Last week, news broke that a porn game breached Steam’s most popular list. For some, this was hardly any surprise at all. For others, they were left stunned trying to figure out how we got to a place where porn games were outranking mainstream games.

The truth is, the Internet’s obsession with porn games isn’t new. And it’s not surprising when we think critically about these things. Porn games are, for the most part, a virtual and interactive extension of porn. Not just in the way we look at porn, but the way we interact with the porn. In fact, Free Adult added a porn games section to their free porn sites list which they review. Because, well, everyone wants in on the porn game surge (or crisis, depending on who you ask).

Heck, there’s even those familiar micro-battles over free porn games vs. paid porn games. Let’s face it, that battle is always settled by what you are willing to pay and what you are willing to freeload in exchange for a few titillating, sometimes eye popping, porno ads. Do you want to pay to lower the risk that a scantily attired slutty bunny riding a dildo pops on your screen? That’s up to you, bro.

Porn games are here to stay. And for many people (hint, not me, I swear), that’s a fantastic thing.

So let’s have a look at how we got here and where to go if you happen to be a curious soul.

A Porn Games History

Since 2008, chatter of virtual reality porno has grown from a whisper, to a loud, enthusiastic call to arms. The Internet’s foundation is porn, whether we choose to admit that or not. I’m sure at times you might think that recipe sites drive the web. But no, it’s still porn, not Beth’s gluten-free casserole.

Some of the research is staggering, including data which suggests that almost 30% of people watch porn from their employer’s business computers. Go remote work, I think?

But over the past decade, a mental shift, ushered in by consumer rising online porn expectations, grew a virtual reality niche. Heck, today, virtual reality porn is more than a niche, it’s a massive ocean that sweeps across the Internet’s landscape.

People now desire more intimate connections with online content. The Coronavirus pandemic shutdown has emboldened those feelings. When isolated long enough, navigating a massive mansion looking for a sexy girl what will perform BDSM acts on you isn’t a far stretch. The lack of authentic human contact can do that to a person.

As virtual reality grew, so did porn games, the obvious extension of VR. Back in 2012, the site Porn Games began allowing adult game developers the ability to upload their naughty games. The bigger headline was that these uploaded games were free porn games. And thus began a major market for online sex games. It only took a few years before competition in the porn game market exploded.

Porn Games is now one of the biggest online sex game sites. Being one of the first certainly has its benefits as does brand name awareness. But Porn Games is hardly the only show in town.

Adult Sex Games features a similar layout to Porn Games. It’s also fast and updates daily. Some days you’ll find a similar inventory of games on both sites, other days, not so much. There’s XXX Games, yet another porn game play. Even Free Sex Games, a name indicative with just how big and opportunistic the porn game genre has become.

And it’s important to note, most porn games are now built for your mobile device. In other words, your iPhone and Android phones are the priority for porn game developers.

Hentai Porn Games – The Epicenter of Pervy Sex Games

Embedded deep in the roots of porn games is that strange, somewhat befuddling hentai porn theme. Hentai porn is often the butt of mainstream humor.

In the popular CBC series, “Working Moms,” main character Catherine Reitman’s character admits she watches anime porn.

But in comedy we often find hints, or sometimes slathering loads (yeah, I did that), of truth.

Hentai porn is ultra-popular on the web. So while your neighbor may deny watching it, odds are, he or she does. While you can find hentai porn games on all the other popular porn game websites, none is bigger, nor more provocative, than Hentai Porn.

Hentai Porn is one of the largest hubs for perving out to freaky anime sex fun.

As a website, Hentai Porn focuses on hentai porn games, furry porn games and 3D porn games. There’s a communal feeling going on when you logon to the site. Like, you feel as though you aren’t alone with your desire to fap to cartoon character sex. I mean, you would feel this way, not me, because I don’t watch hentai porn. At least not a lot.

Porn Games and Dating Sites

What’s more adult than adult dating sites?

Hookup websites are far and away one of the largest niches online. With restaurants and bars shut down, or severely limited in capacity in many parts, hookup websites are thriving.

And oddly, porn games have found their way into that. In fact, a famous handjob site that allows people to connect with others who like giving or receiving handjobs, finds that porn games are a growing theme.

In other words, some people enjoy playing porn games and getting handjobs. Because otherwise, they are jerking themselves off. That is, unless the hentai porn bunny somehow comes to life and takes on the tasks for you. Hey, very little would surprise me these days.

People are looking to connect with other people who get off to porn games, that’s the main point in this. And it’s very telling of a remarkable porn game growth phase that’s been undeniable for years.

When people sign up for dating sites looking for people to jerk them off during a porn game, let’s face it, it’s a new day.

Free Porn Games – What’s The Catch?

If you search for porn games in Steam’s adult section, you’ll end up shelling out some coin to play. If this offends you, you’re probably a little too immersed in entitled Internet culture. Developers deserve their cut.

But its undeniable that free porn games are all the rage. Porngames.games being the biggest porn game bargain hunt of the decade, but there are many options like it, as we cited above.

And there is no real catch. You’ll experience ads. Some ads are more annoying than others, but overall, it’s not too bad of an experience. The games are not interrupted, you’ll just see sliders for the latest porn games. Most of the time, the ads are for legit, more developed, porn game experiences. In other words, some products may pique your interests. Yeah, not all advertisements are evil, folks.

That said, free porn games are very good and you don’t pay a dime.

Are Porn Games Addictive?

Like any game play, porn games can cause addiction. Porn games are built on a variety of premises. Some are trivia that allows players to unlock sex scenes. Some are point and click control over a female or male body. Some are even erotic mysteries.

All of this can serve addiction. If you are an addictive personality, you should either avoid porn games all together, or heavily monitor your use. Some risks with porn game addiction include malnourishment and dehydration, as well as sleeplessness.

Look friends, hentai porn games are awesome, but drink some damn water and eat a Kind bar. Oh, and take a walk.

Is All This Porn Game Momentum Built To Last?

At this juncture, it’s important to respect gamer history, particularly in the mainstream. Mainstream gaming has towed the porn line, if not completely hopscotched it, for a decade and more.

Mainstream gaming served as a spark for more formal adult sex games.

When you consider the massive scale of mainstream gaming and the fact that the market for adult-oriented content within the market is booming, it’s easy to see where the more formal porn game market has barely scratched the surface.

The porn game vertical, as big as it appears, has a long ways to go to meet its potential scale. And this means that developers are competing more and more with other developers to produce the “best porn game.” More competition, of course, means improved porn game experiences.

So if you’re upset by the influx and surge of porn games online, buckle up, its not getting any better for you anytime soon. Servers are being primed and oiled up as the web savvy among us continue to bet on the market’s projected growth.

And that’s great for me. I mean, not for me, but more great for you. As I’ve mentioned, I don’t play pervish porn games. At least not that much.
